AI Start-up Talk & Workshop with AMMO AI — Newcastle University
Hosted by AMMO AI in partnership with Newcastle University — Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering (SAgE)
Summary: What vibe coding means for everyone, which skills still matter, and hands-on time with Super Intern - a customizable AI personal assistant.
AI isn't just rewriting software engineering. It's reshaping what every graduate — engineer, designer, marketer, scientist, writer, founder — will actually do day to day. We'll talk honestly about where the anxiety is real, where the opportunities are hiding, and how to position yourself for what's next.
Then we'll get hands-on.
🎓 You'll be discussing with:
Shuzhi Huang — Founder of AMMO AI, ex-Google (10y) Senior Manager, early member of Google App.
Yujian Hong — CTO at AMMO AI, ex-Meta Tech Lead, Oxford MSc.
